Forgive and Be Freeಮಾದರಿ

Forgiving and Reconciling with Others

Jesus didn’t just talk about forgiveness—He lived it. Even on the cross, He cried out, “Father, forgive them.” That kind of forgiveness can change everything.

God calls us not only to forgive but to seek reconciliation. When there's division or tension, His desire is restoration. Reconciliation might not always be possible or safe in every case, but when it is, it’s powerful. It reflects the heart of the gospel.

Sometimes, we can’t forgive others because we haven’t accepted forgiveness for ourselves. Like a gift card left unused in a drawer, God’s grace often goes unredeemed in our lives. But it’s been paid for—in full—by Jesus.

Forgiveness is freedom. Don’t leave the gift unopened. Redeem it. Then share it.
